....problems difficulties in putting the pieces of a program together . Even though the novice knows what bits are required, linking the bits together is too difficult. Further analysis of a familiar and distressing problem, Why can t smart students solve simple programming problems ([8]) has brought home the importance of this problem as a cause of failure to program. Many of the difficulties of dislocated components can be avoided, and our two VPLs are quite successful in this respect. In the dataflow model used by Prograph and LabView we do not have the same sense of pieces ....

....problems difficulties in putting the pieces of a program together . Even though the novice knows what bits are required, linking the bits together is too difficult. Further analysis of a familiar and distressing problem, Why can t smart students solve simple programming problems [78] has brought home the importance of plan composition as a cause of failure to program. Dataflow languages have not received the same degree of attention, although recently it has been shown that the schema analysis can be applied to spreadsheets [75] and visual dataflow languages [31] ....
